A string of unexpected Olympic successes - Greece has picked up two gold medals and a bronze so far - has helped to assuage national pride.

Australia - who are desperate to add a gold to their haul of three Olympic silvers and three bronzes - battled hard but came up against rock solid defence which only allowed one of their 14 goal attempts into the net.

Westbrook is also the last U.S. fencer to win an Olympic medal: a bronze in 1984.
